Its good to be gold; Tech strikes against Georgia Southern in Birmingham

Sep 10, 2010

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Kris Cambron earned her
second consecutive scoring game on Friday as she netted one on
Georgia Southern for her second goal of the season to kickstart
Tech in their 2-0 victory over the Eagles.

True to form, the Golden Eagles struck in the second half of the
contest, pacing Georgia Southern in the first half of the game,
getting off eight shots to the Eagles seven. However Cambron, the
returning sophomore and Ohio Valley Conference Co-Freshman of the
Year from 2009, found the back of the net on a long shot into the
upper right corner in the 59th minute of the game on a pass from
senior Brooke
Mayo.

Freshman forward Taylor Hicks capped off the
scoring for Tech with a goal just ten minutes later on a shot from
25 yards out. Jacquie
Watkins was credited with the assist on the play.

Both teams finished the contest with 13 shots as 10 Golden Eagle
players contributed kicks on the day.

Once again, freshman keeper Becca Toler went the
distance for Tech, notching four saves in her 90 minutes of play.
Georgia Southern goalie Katie Merson logged five saves.

Friday's win marks an evening of the series score between TTU
and Georgia Southern, as each team has earned one win between the
two meetings.

Tech will head into Sunday's matchup against Samford with an
improved record of 2-4, while Georgia Southern falls to a 2-3
record on the season.

The Golden Eagles will meet the Bulldogs after one day of rest,
when they take the field Sunday at 2 p.m. for a showdown with the
tournament host team.
